6. Companies and growth rates Future value and present value concepts are applied in various ways, such as calculating growth rates, earnings per share, expected sales and revenues in the future, and so forth Consider the following case: Pharmacist John S. Pemberton Invented a soft drink in 1886 that eventually became not only an integral part of everyday life in the United States but also a symbol of consumerism worldwide.

If Coca-Cola's sales had grown from 1939 to 1945 at the same rate that they grew between 1934 and 1939, its sales in 1945 would have been approximately cases.
